Jesus Ministry the Anointing!





God did not intend for us to disciple people with a bunch of words, that is the western mentality, that is not Biblical mentality Ephesians 4:2-12, Eph 4:2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Eph 4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:9  (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The unity in the Spirit is a given in the Church of Jesus Christ and your calling is Ephesians 3: 20-21, Eph 3:20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Eph 3:21  Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
How are we going to see the Glory in the Church? By the anointing, Christ in you the Hope of Glory, the anointed one that is manifesting his presents in you and the anointing in the church is the Hope of Glory, and our Hope of seeing the Glory. We get, well, when we can get where we can teach the people in that, we will finally get there. NO!!!! it’s not going to happen without the anointing. So that is our calling, and our calling is to a High and Holy thing we are discovering. God’s ability to do way beyond anything we ask, or think and the Glory is coming through the anointed one, Jesus Christ. Verse 2-6, Eph 4:2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
There is everything that unites us. Verse 7, Eph 4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.  Now he sais, translated, but to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the anointed one and his gift, of his anointing. That is a gift given through his anointing. You start translating that, you start saying “I have the anointing, I have a measure of that anointing that was on Jesus Christ.”  We are one body, it’s got every one of us, to have a measure, a great gift, it’s not according to your discovering, it’s not because God likes your face more than any one else’s, or anything. It’s not by that you did the time, and all these other Ideas that we have in religious circles, or Political Circles, you know, or advancement as  an elder. Eldership has got nothing to do with that whatsoever, and all the other Offices in the church. It has nothing to do with Seniority. Where did we get that? We followed cultural Lies. Grace was given to, according to the measure of Christ the anointed one and his anointing. Verse 8-12, Eph 4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:9  (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  Lets meditate on this. There’s a coma that’s been placed in the King James Version that has caused a lot of trouble and controversy to the church. Even though the coma is between Perfecting of the saints coma for the work of the ministry coma for the edifying of the body of Christ. The original text in Greek and Hebrew has no coma. It’s for the equipping of the saints, so the saints can do the work of the ministry. So what that has given rise to is the understanding, we pay the preacher, he does the ministry, so we come into church, preacher minister to us, we pay you, you do the job and, if you don’t do the job well enough we will fire you, and get ourselves another preacher. No! No! the task of the 5 fold ministry is to equip the saints for them to do the work of the ministry! We have though that the way to raise up the saints to do the work of ministry is teach them and teach them and instruct them and so on. All we get is a bunch of people with a lot of information and a lot of knowledge, but they are still inactive and unproductive as ever. Some of them catch a little bit of fire and they begin to be productive. There is a limit to all the instruction, but NOT belittling  the instruction of the Written Word of God one iota. The Word of God is absolutely central to life and ministry, devour it, love the Word, but there is a limitation in the letter of the Word of God. The letter kills, Only the Spirit gives Life.
Ezekiel 37: 3-8, Eze 37:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Eze 37:4  Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Eze 37:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Eze 37:6  And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 37:7  So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Eze 37:8  And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.  See the limitation of preaching to bones? You can get orderly bones, even come together and get them nicely organized, make them look like bodies, but until breath gets into them they are just dead corpses and they are not any better than dry bones, just being organized and bones with sinews.  That was supernatural, but God was showing Ezekiel that there is more to it than just prophesying to the bones. Prophesying to the bones doesn’t raise anybody up to be a mighty army, just teaching apart from the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the anointing. So there comes a point in time when Ezekiel’s ministry stops prophesying to the bones. Verse 9-10, Eze 37:9  Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Eze 37:10  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Breath or wind, the Ruach, the Hebrew word for Breath, wind or Spirit. You see it is so easy as preachers of the word of God to get so frustrated, because you preach and you teach and it doesn’t seem to move people, you just say “Well the people are not committed!” Quit blaming the people, it is time for us to quit blaming the people. God said, Ezekiel you are directing your ministry the wrong direction, now turn to the Spirit of God and invite the Spirit of God to come and do what all the teaching in the world can’t do, and ask the Spirit of God to breath on the people! God is redirecting the ministries of those who he has set as Prophets and preachers and teachers in the body of Christ. It is time for us to recognize that the American church is the most taught church. We’ve got handbooks and manuals, we’ve got tapes, videos and the world is not being won, and men are still divorcing their wives, and people are still wrestling with all the problems of before. Why? The problem is in the pulpit! People we have to be committed to the ministry of the Spirit, yes preach the Word of God, but Only the Spirit can only breath on them and bring in life. Verse 10 again, Eze 37:10  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.  How did they rise upon their feet? Brother, sister you got to train them, ha, ha,ha. NO! You don’t, this will make you job so easy. When the Spirit entered into them, they were raised up by the Spirit and they were an exceedingly Great Army, from bones to army in one quick move, So what’s been lacking in the church of Jesus Christ? What is lacking is our appreciation of the Person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit and his ability to infuse the people with divine anointing and raise them up equipped and we haven’t turned them loose and let them be the army that God said the Spirit of God makes them to be, and it is time for us to give to the Holy Spirit his proper place and appreciate him again as God himself in our midst. He can raise people up without all our instructions, which gets people into utter despair, because they say there is no way I can remember all of that information. You don’t have to, just yield to the Spirit of God and let the Spirit of God be your teacher. God said, teach them to hear my Spirit, and God will expose you lack of understanding of the Spirit of God and who he really is. He is God himself and the greatest sin of the church is our low estimation of the Spirit of God, who dwells in every believer from the youngest to the greatest.
Part of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31: 34, Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.  God said quit fighting it, start cooperating with the Holy Spirit, they have ears to hear. Now let hear my voice and don’t meddle with it, turn them loose. We’ve got to turn them loose in ministry and see that they do learn to hear the Spirit of God, they will walk so intimately with the Spirit of God. Tell them hear the Spirit, no rules, no regulations on them, learn to appreciate that the Spirit of the Living God the one who wrote the book, the one who created the heavens and the earth, lives within them. See what we’re saying to you? See what we have done to the church? We have dishonored the Holy Spirit of God, and we have thought that he is not able and not capable to do his work in people, so we have usurped his Authority to his face, as Prophets and preacher and teachers. Some of the greatest repentance that is going to come in this revival is the preachers repenting on the floor, and the Holy Spirit will take over your ministry, and the services, and you will look up and say “Wow! Look at them ministering why I haven’t taught them anything.” God is going to restore to his church a wonderful appreciation of the Holy Spirit, listen he the Holy Spirit is not an experience, he is not a language. We have limited the Spirit of God to the baptism of the Holy Ghost and after that we go back to the law instead of staying in Grace, we go back to the works of the flesh, instead of staying in the Spirit.
He is God, he is God, he proceeds from the Father and the Son, and he is here to manifest the Father and the Son to us, and to indwell us through his indwelling. Jesus said,”I will come to you, and mt Father will come to you in the PERSON of the Holy Spirit. Trust the Holy Spirit-God the Father-God the Son in the Person in the Holy Spirit. He will indwell them, and don’t try to take their place and teach, or raise them. God will educate them, nurture them and admonish them by his Holy Spirit. We are to just love them. You will get an appreciation of the Holy Spirit who dwells in them. Quit messing around with God with them! Some of you will get liberated, and some of you are going to get mad. We’ve done this throughout the church of Jesus Christ, we do not have an appreciation of who just the Spirit of God is and we are so afraid of things getting out of control, but we are concerned about our control, not God’s control, God is perfectly able to control things. There is such a freedom to discover just how capable the Spirit of God really is with people, that he can put them on the floor and do his work in them and they can get off the floor totally changed and it didn’t take hours  of counseling, and hours of teaching and hour of instruction. God does it by his Spirit, WOW!  Go back to Ephesians 4: 11-32  and see what that means. Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Eph 4:17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Eph 4:19  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Eph 4:20  But ye have not so learned Christ;
Eph 4:21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Eph 4:22  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25  Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Eph 4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27  Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28  Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.  How does the five fold ministry equip the saints? What do the five fold ministry have? They have a measure of the anointing right? They have received by the Grace of God a measure of that anointing, it is Christ’s gift to them, his gifting is his anointing. An Apostle can only be an Apostle only if you anoint him for it, you seen some of them who said they were Apostles and they didn’t have an ounce of anointing for it, and all they try to do is run things and control things and they are an anthem in the body of Christ. You saw Prophets who said they were anointed, and they weren’t anointed and all they had was a critical spirit and they brought Chaos wherever they went and judged and criticized. They thought they had a gift of discernment, but all they had was a devil on them that gave them insight into people’s problems, so they could tear down and whip up on people and beat up on the body of Christ, they are not Prophets.
An anointed Prophet under the New Covenant will minister to edification, exhortation and consolation. If you beat up on the people you are not a Prophet, you might have been called. So you need to get under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and be changed by his Spirit. I am being strong about this because we are going to have a revelation in the church of Jesus Christ, and anybody who wants to hang on his old ways, they will miss the move of God. This is a move of the Spirit, that’s what Joel said was going to happen, Joel 2: 28-30, Joe 2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joe 2:29  And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joe 2:30  And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. And Acts 2: 17-21, Act 2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Act 2:18  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19  And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Act 2:20  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Act 2:21  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Question? Will we have to train them? NO!, The Spirit will raise them. Any ministry or church who will allow the Spirit to be himself is going to discover Quantum leaps and growth that years of teaching and instruction could never bring about. The Spirit will do it rapidly in a short time, and there is no reason anybody, or pastors to be in a state of burnout if you are really ministering by the Holy Spirit. Listen your job is easy, you go around releasing the anointing, and the Spirit of God is the counselor, to counsel them. Don’t take a substitute for the counselor, by putting out a shingle and saying “I am a counselor.” Turn them over to the counselor! We being counselors are making a bunch of people dependent on us, instead of being dependent on the Spirit of the Living God, and it is time for the church to grow up from our dependencies. The preachers needing people to need them and want them, and the people needing and wanting physical preachers to minister to them. People we’ve got to go and depend on the Spirit of God and appreciate who he is today! It is all in the anointing, it is all in the anointing! So how am I to equip the saints? Don’t be so Cerebral-mental-carnal in the ministry or church, you know, give us material, teach us, give us tapes, yeah teaching ministry helps, but there is one way to equip the saints! To do what God has equipped you to do!  That is the impartation of the anointing! How are we going to raise up Evangelist? Teach them first spiritual laws then turn them loose? No! That is by the impartation of the anointing! Well some of them taught are called with the anointed are going to get with the program. It is by the impartation of the anointing, it is according to the gift. Paul sais to Timothy “Stir up the gift which is in you, which was given you by the laying on of my hands.” He got it by the impartation and through the laying on of hands, so we’ve got to lay hands on people, that’s one of the problems in the church, not laying on of hands! Well what happens if he is a dud? Who do you trust? Him or the Spirit of God? Through the discernment of Spirits, God will show you what he has called people to do. It is your responsibility to impart the anointing specifically to that calling and impart the gifting by the Holy Spirit. Yes, there is going to be instruction, Yes, there is going to be growing in the Word, but the Spirit is the one who sets people, who raises people up to be the mighty army. Please see it, Please see it, because what we are doing is that we are relying on the other stuff that’s taking to long to get an equipped saint and they are sitting around and filling up the pews, and the ministry is not being done, except a few who is willing to do what the Spirit of God sais, and we are worn out and tired.
We sure are getting the World Won? There is no way we can get the end times harvest in by the present way we are doing things, it will take to Long to train up the army that is going to be needed to bring in the end time harvest. So we obviously haven’t done it right. It is time for us to go to the Word and say “God that is your way, show us your way, teach us your way.” He said “It is by the anointing, Jesus did what he did by the Anointing.” He put it on his disciples and said “Go out and do the same!” As they went guess what? The anointing that was on them taught them all things. John said “Yes, I touched him, Yes, I felt him, Yes, I handled him, the Word of life, Yes, I had done personal things with him, but you are no less than me, because you have an anointing from the anointed one, and you know all things, hear the Word of God through Jesus Christ.” For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry for the edifying of the body of the anointed one and his anointing. See we’ve missed it, for it is the body, we’ve missed it, because we haven’t made the anointing the focus of our ministry and of our equipping of the body and so we haven’t got the anointed body. We have based the equipping of the saints on knowledge the impartation of truth. Here is the problem with that, I can only impart what I know and I will impart my prejudices, so guess what we have created? We have created people after our own image, and so we’ve divided into camps, because this group saw it this way, because that group saw it that way, and another group divided into another camp, because they had a teacher who saw it in another way, and we’ve produced a bunch of brick factories.  God said, “I am going to build my temple with living stones.” When man builds starting with the City of Babylon and the Tower of Babylon they made bricks. God said, “Don’t you ever build an alter or a temple, or anything for me with bricks, only with stones and don’t use a hammer and chisel on them.” You know what we do, we bring them into our camp and say, you don’t fit in here, just lie down and lets chisel a few things off of you. We got to get rid of your rough edges, because you got to fit in our little brick mold.
We want people to lie down and we want to put them into the brick mold and Presto, all nice and square and tight and orderly, and you got to be the same color. I mean you can’t have bricks different colors, the become the same batch, the same color, same everything and boy, the building looks so beautiful and we say, ”Oh don’t we have a great building?” That is built with bricks and God sais, “I am building a temple with living stone, the way I prepare stones, I weather them with wind and water, wind and water, the washing of the Word, and the wind of the Holy Spirit.” That is how he prepares his stones and listen, and they don’t fit at all, not all square, so you know what he does? He just slaps in the mortar with Love and he cements the whole thing together as a beautiful building, and he loves it, and they are all uneven stones in the wall. We look at it and say, ”Oh no we got to have it nice and even.” And God sais, ”Don’t touch it, I love it like that, I love all the uneven stones, here you come and make everybody look the same.” Come on?  God builds with living stones, well what am I going to do? What will I do with that stone?  As ministers and pastors you love them, you love them and release the anointing on them. Yea, but, but, oh, oh, oh. No Buts! Yours is to teach them by the Spirit and recognize this, you are not the teacher, you are going to have to trust the Holy Spirit with them. If you don’t trust the Holy Spirit you will have a brick factory instead of having a temple being built by the living God. Verse 13, Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:   I am telling you the other way we are not going to come into the unity of faith if we rely on teaching. We are not going to come into the unity of faith if we rely on teaching and our interpretation of him, till we all come to the unity of faith. So what are we growing up into? We are growing up to be like Jesus, what is the primary feature about Jesus? Paul is highlighting that we are going to grow up into? His anointing, so guess where the church is going? We are going to the place where we as the body of the anointed one perfectly expresses his anointing in this earth, doing the works of Jesus.  We are going to talk about his anointing like he did, we are going to preach how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with Power, He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed of the devil, and we are going to demonstrate it, we are going to do the stuff. That’s where we are going, Oh and you thought God was going to reveal some incredible mystical mystery of where we are going to, and we go “oh these teachers, Oh these great mysteries.” You want to know the mystery of the gospel? Ephesians 3: 1-8, Eph 3:1  For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 3:2  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph 3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5  Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6  That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 3:7  Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Eph 3:8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; Paul said “I am a prisoner of the anointing, I can’t get loose from it, I live for it, Ill die for it, I have been put in prison by the anointed one and his anointing.” He said the mystery is this, “The gentiles can get it, because of the anointed one and his anointing, they are partners together.” Paul said “The anointing is unsearchable riches of the anointed one and his anointing.” We have read the Bible very shallowly if all we can find about the anointing is 1 John 2: 27, 1Jn 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
There is so much about the anointing every time Christ is mentioned, translate and meditate and you will discover you have a new Bible and there are unsearchable riches. This is wonderful we’ve got a new Bible, we’ve got messages to preach from here till Jesus Comes, now because we start translating and meditating , when you see Christ the unsearchable riches of Christ. Verse 9-12, Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Eph 3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.  We have just read Christ like a title. Uh that’s his last name Jesus Christ like John Smith, NO! It is not a title people, it is so much more, it is the anointed one and his anointing. Back to Ephesians 4: 13-15, Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:  Who are we growing up into? The anointed one and his anointing. Why do we get blown about by every wind of doctrine? Because we’ve got to look for something exciting to preach to keep the people, and so people invent some new teaching to tickle the ears. If you preach and practice the anointing the people will come from miles around,  because people are desperate to have the anointing manifest. What is the anointing and what is the definition we gave the anointing? It is the burden removing yoke destroying Power of God. Isaiah 10: 27,  Isa 10:27  And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. So you major on that, and so guess what, burdens are removed and yokes destroyed and the people will come from miles around, and guess where they are going to? We are not going into some glorious mystical new truth! We are growing up into the head Christ Jesus, the anointed one and his anointing. Verse 15-16, Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.  From who? Christ, from the anointed one, from who the body is joined in it together, it is the anointing that brings unity, it is the anointing that brings stability, it is the anointing that brings maturity. Wait till the demonstrations, because God will attest his messages, he is going to confirm it, he loves the church to preach about the anointing and the anointed one. You preach on the anointing and God will show up, by signs and wonders and gifts of the Holy Spirit. He will get on the scene and say “I like what you are preaching.” Every part that doesn’t shed causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in Love. If you focus on the teaching the body it will never build itself up. Why? Because we will always be at different stages of understanding and so there will always be a comparison between people by themselves, a wrong judgment of self and others, and its got nothing to do with it. Yes, we are to grow up in the knowledge of him, not just a bunch of information. There are a bunch of people sitting in church that know Bible verses and can quote them that they have learned from childhood, but it doesn’t help them when it comes to controlling their anger, it doesn’t help them when it comes to being able to being patient. The anointing is a better way, much better way, a much powerful way of ministering to people by the anointing and let the anointing do it’s work on them. People delivered, transformed, by the anointing. Hours of counseling can’t do it, the anointing  will do it quickly, it is so much better to let the Spirit of God do the work in the ministry. Deep in the persons spirit, in this move of God is the effortless nature of it, how little effort there is allowing the anointing to do the work, we are going to have the most fun there is on the earth, getting to minister the anointing to people. We will see the power of God touch people. Imparting the anointing, not having to go through all the stages. It is the anointing on you that God has called you to do. Tell the wind to come, tell the wind to blow on them, you just tell the wind to blow on them and the Spirit will blow on them and raise them up a mighty army. That’s pretty neat, to just say Spirit do it, Yes! All we have to do is Impart the anointing, and let God do it and have such a confidence for God to do what all the hours of reasoning and mind games and counseling situations can’t do. God can totally circumvent that totally!!!!!!!
